When we were looking for an upgrade to our TV, I specifically wanted a “dumb display.” No internet connection, no built in streaming services, just a display that would connect to a computer and show me the stuff my browser was playing from my Jellyfin server. If you want that kind of device, it seems that “Digital Signage” or “Commercial Display” is the category under which you are wanting to look.

They do often have network ports as they’re designed to be centrally managed (think hotel TV) but there’s zero requirement to give it a connection and it works beautifully without one.

Anyway there you go, hope that helps someone.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Scanning tech would turn every phone into a surveillance device ⚠️

UK Ministers may claim this is to stop children sharing intimate images.

But it means forcing every adult through a digital ID checkpoint and scanning all private images by default.

Once the infrastructure exists, it will be expanded.

It would award every future government and every tyranny across the globe a mechanism to pre-censor everything anyone does with their phone.

Morning, all,

there _is_ a grifter gene...

And Ivanka has inherited it from her pa.

You'd think any member of the #TrumpCrimeFamily would be leery of buying themselves a private island.

(The optics should surely be especially problematic for a woman whose father couldn't keep his hands off her arse when she was much younger)

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are buying part of Europe (and we're not happy about that):

Please stop with the floating elements on websites. They're hiding your content, and make me want to leave!

No, I don't want to "swipe to the next article" if there's also gonna be a giant floating arrow hiding the text and make me want to stop reading the one I'm painfully trying to read right now.

No, I don't want to "donate" if I can't even fully read what your organization is about because of all those buttons floating over your content.

The goal is to show your content! Why hiding it with a bajillion arrows, buttons, and popups? And please test your website for small mobile display. Your floating elements are ENORMOUS there 😭

🚨 Say that I were to give a talk to EU policy makers and OSS communities at a very big conference tomorrow..

and that I want to spend half of my talk on how Google is locking down #Android through:
1. Device attestation
2. Developer registration
3. Age/identity verification

What should I absolutely include? 👀

Input is welcome, sorry for the short notice. Plain language + realistic calls to action pls.

Is there maybe someone in the #Fediverse who needs a reasonable beefy (gameing/gamedev) laptop?

- MSI Katana GF66 12UGSZOK
- 64GB RAM (4800MTs)
- RTX 3070 Ti 8GB
- 1TB SSD
- ~1-2 years old

I'm looking to get under 1 months server costs (~1400 EUR) that offers a little breathing room but I'm not sure that reasonable since other offers make me cry

Offers/questions and/or reality check are welcome  

*has to be shipped from the NL
